Much more than monkey business. Seems to have reached a new level.
People pay there money,go to the cricket, and its an escape form the everyday life. they seem to drink more and have a bit of fun.
I know in Australia opinion is probably divided if Murali is a chucker or not. I can safely say no-one cares too much to lose sleep over it. When a small portion of the crowd yell "no-ball" when he bowls they don't really care, they are just having a bit of fun because they know it winds him up a bit. So much so that he has refused to tour in the past.
I do not see how calling "no ball" is racist. Sri Lanka have always been popular tourists here especially when Jayusuriya and Kaluwitharana used to open together.
Do thest two examples parrellel? or is Symonds worse because it can be related to his West Indian looks?
Should players have to put up with this? Is it just part of the game? is it acceptable?
... i want to hear your honest unbiased opinion.

Well, snowboarding season is coming up and I need a new board. I'm mainly a jibber, so I know what style I want, but I can decide the flex. Here in PA you never snow what kind of snow you will get. You could get powder, icy, slush, so I don't know what flex / stiff to get. Any suggestions?

A Cinderella Story or a Fluke?

Now I know they were tied for last in their division last year and that now they've won 21 out of 22 games BUT....

If you compare this to NFL last year the New Orleans Saints went to the NFC Conference Championship Match with like a 10-6 record and lost in the Conference but it was a huge improvement compared to the year before when they were the second last team in the league with a 3-13 record HOWEVER...

Now they are playing horrible football and are 1-4 so might this just happen to the Rockies and be a good season on the verge of descending.

the main reason why i think it should is because that type of playoff bracket would only give one team from each conference a bye week and in my opinion, i don't think being the second best team in your conference should get you a bye week in the playoffs.

I don't need Furrey so it's not a loss to me.

I would be getting Larry Johnson in this deal.

Any thoughts on this. I thought S Fla would be favored by more than 3. Does no one think this team is for real and they will let everyone down this week?

I jog a lot and my shins seem to be bothering me lately. What kind of stretch exercise is best for this? And what are some ways of avoiding shin pains other than stretching?

A summer camp has contacted me about teaching kids how to use air rifles. Safety, responsibility, respect and concentration are all valuable lessons to be learned.
The kids will be 14-17. They will be on public assistance or working poor. They will be white, black and hispanic, probably some other ethnicities as well, but no distinct majority. They will be from a small city that has seen better days.
I have a budget of $500 for equipment and $250 for supplies, maybe a little more.
First and foremost, I was thinking a way to secure the guns. They have lockers, but I'd also add gun locks.

All the participants will need safety glasses:

We'll have 3 traps so three shooters can shoot at once:

Saturdays and Sundays work for obvious reasons, but there are some races on holidays, like Turkey Trots, etc. Would a Tuesday morning race be a really bad idea, from the organizer stand point? Have you done a weekday race?
